USDA Central States Print Butter 05/14 15:30
AMS_1089 MARS
Butter - Central U.S.
Released on May 14, 2025
Cream is plentiful throughout the Midwest, though contacts in the southern part
of the region say increasing temperatures are having a negative impact on milk
components. Ice cream makers are purchasing a greater volume of cream ahead of
the summer. Despite this, butter makers say cream volumes are sufficient to run
busy schedules. Some note they are currently at capacity and are unable to
purchase additional spot loads of cream, even when offered favorable spot
pricing. Butter makers continue to freeze butter for the fall and winter
months, and spot purchasers say loads are available. Domestic butter prices are
priced favorably to loads produced internationally and some manufacturers say
this is contributing to increased export interest.
